Dear Bush Administration,

It has now been well over two years since you've been in Iraq, with well over 100,000 soldiers. I just have one question:

Where are the fucking WMDs Saddam was supposed to be amassing?

I mean come on! Before the invasion you sent your secretary of state over to the UN with detailed intelligence info about where the WMDs were, he even showed us all images of trucks and installations where Saddam was making them. You said that he posed an imminent threat to the US.

Are you telling me that when you had no human assets in Iraq, you knew exactly where the WMDs were (Rumsfeld stated "we know where they are, they're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad"), and now, after more than two years of combing through Iraq, you can't find them?

Another thing, if Saddam had those nukes, and you haven't found them, it means they are still out there. Don't you think that it is imperative that now you find them ASAP, considering that your invasion of a sovereign nation has opened its doors to al-Qaeda and related terrorist organizations due to the breakdown of law-and-order and border security? With al-Qaeda insurgents roaming around, isn't it likely that one of them might stumble upon those elusive WMDs which your multi-billion dollar campaign has failed to unearth? Are you planning for such a contingency? Or are you quite calm because you know, and always have known, that there were no WMDs to begin with? That Saddam's nuke capability was destroyed in 1983 by the Israeli airstrikes at Osirak? That would be more inline with what your secretary of defence said early in 2001 when he stated that Iraq did not possess nuclear weapons.

You also added the baggage of "removing a despotic dictator" to your pre-war rhetoric, just in case the WMDs wouldn't be found (which you, of course, knew). So you succeeded in removing a despot. But why start (or stop) with Iraq; the world is full of despotic dictators: Castro of Cuba, Assad of Syria, Musharraf of Pakistan, Akayev of Kyrghyzstan, Fahd/Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. Why not go "liberate" them while you're at it? Why is it that you expediently ally yourself with despotic dictators when it is useful for you to do so? As examples, I give you the following cases:

• Musharraf of Pakistan, who has turned his country into a frontline state against terrorism
• Shaikh Jabir as-Sabah, king of Kuwait, whose country you used to stage your invasion
• Akayev, ruthless president of Kyrghysztan, whose airbases are used for Afghan operations

But I shouldn't fault you for this, you are only doing what your administrations have done for ages. During the Afghan-Soviet war, the Raegan administration supported and armed to the teeth General Zia of Pakistan, who had taken power in a military coup. al-Qaeda is a legacy of that era, in fact, bin Laden was a frontline fighter against the Soviets and was perceived as a hero.

Your Orwellian control of the daily lives of the world's citizens will come to an end one day. And you will be remembered not as the valiant leader of a nation under seige, but as the blithering idiot who couldn't remember "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" on national TV and who went on to engulf the world in flames of hatred and intolerance.
